Hey there, time traveller!

I got an angry e-mail from an acquaintance late last week. She was gobsmacked that the Manitoba Museum had sent out a casting call to local actors who wanted to appear in the museum’s annual Halloween party.The problem?The theme was inspired by Jack the Ripper and the museum wanted two women with the ability to scream to play prostitutes.Jack the Ripper, of course, was an English serial killer who targeted prostitutes.Jennifer Berry, who works for TERF (a program helping women and youth transition off the streets) cried foul. There’s nothing entertaining about the torture and death of women, she wrote.The great part? The museum’s CEO agreed. Within minutes of receiving Berry’s e-mail, Claudette Leclerc sent a note of apology to Berry (and to everyone copied on the original e-mail). Then she notified her staff that they’d be spending the weekend rewriting the script.Read my column in tomorrow’s Free Press and let me know what you think.
